We had called at Mauritius on our way from Liverpool to Bombay in the ship Farewell and were five days out from the island when the adventure oc curred by which we lost the captain and laid the foundation for this story. It was 3 o'clock in the afternoon of a bright day, and the ship was not mak ing above four knots an hour. What sea there was on wonld not have both ered a quarter Loar, and the ship lifted to a wave only at leug intervals. The second mate and I were superintending some work forward, while the captain was alGne on the quarter deck. All of a sudden and without the slightest warn ing the sea began to boil and heave un der and around us in the most violent manner, and for five minutes every man .had to hold on for his life. In her pitch ing the craft shipped three or four green seas, which swept the decks of every thing movable. We were congratulating ourselves that all had escaped when the captain was fonnd to to missing. The last wave we shipped had no doubt car ried him away, and ty the time we had come to this conclusion it wa's too late to make any move. The sea had been disturbed by an .earthquake. Just where we were when the agitation began the chart showed the depth to be a full mile. Three months later, when soundings were taken by a French vessel, it was found that a mountain two miles in circum ference at the base had Leeu heaved up until its crest was only 40 feet below the surface. The set of wind and wave before and after the agitation was to the westward, and ten minutes after the ship had come back to a level keel the wind changed to the east and blew half a gale for the nest seven hours. As a matter of record, the chip pursued her voyage and made the pcit cf Bern Lay without further adventure, cml the remainder of the fctory relates tor the captain. He was Ewcpt c crbcard by the last "wave, jpst as we concluded, and presently found himself far to leeward among a lot of spars and casks which the same wave had takeufrom the main (leek. While the man seized a spnr and passed u. lashing around his body he had no hope of rescue. Almost before ha realized his pesirien the ship was n mile away, ano Le felt euro that no beat would Lo lowered to make a search for him. The spar to which he was lashed drifted away to the west, and evening came cn. Between 6 o'clock and sunset four shijs passed the drifting man, bet all too far away to see or hear, and when night came down he felt that there was no longer the slightest chance for him. He drift ed to the westward, ca I have told you, . .but how far has never been known. Isight passed and another day came, and toward the close of that day Cap tain Graham lost const icusness. He may havo drifted a day alter that per haps two days. When he came to his senses again, he was lying on a sandy beach, with his feet in the water. Ee had been cast ashcre cu an island. It was surely an island to the north and west of Madagascar, but for reasons which will be explained later on itcan nct be more definitely lecated. Err an hour af$er opening his eyes thWrnan could not unlash himself from the spar. When he had finally accomplished that pbject, he" had to crawl on hands and knees to reach the shade cf the bushes. It was high noon and tho weather hot, and the captain was so exhausted that if he had net found fresh water and wild fruit at hand he must have perish ed. He ate and drank-his fill and then slept, an$ the sun was just rising next morning when he awoke. The island, when the castaway came fo survey it, was about two miles and a half long by one mile in breadth, and its average height above the sea was pot over la feet. It was of volcanic orir gin and was entirely covered with yeiz flare, and there were six or seYen differ ent Eprts pf wild fruits. Along the beach were oysters and shellfish in abundance, and the captain soon assured, himself that starvation wpuld not be one of the perils pf his situation. What struck him curiously was the entire ah? gence of life on tho" island. There was, peither animal nor bird, reptile nor in sect. There should have been a dozen varieties of birds and an abundance of insect life- on so fair a spot with its tropical climate, but it was simply ter antless. And yet there was life there, and where the castaway least expected. He had been on the islan3 a week or so and had twice walked clear around it when one day as he was gathering fruit in an open spot ho was suddenly and fiercely attacked by a naked man. The surprise was great, and tho captain had Jiot yet recovered his Etrength, but, shaking the man off, he seized a club and laid about him so vigorously that his assailant ran away. It was a white mail, and from the aaarks on his hapds ho inust have been a sailor," How long he had lived there, and how he reached, the island in the first place arV matters for conjecture, but the fact of his being nude went to show that he had been there long enough to wear put his clothes, Jb breaking away from the captain he ran for the beach. The latter followed at-his heels, Ehouting for him to stop, but the un known ran to the water, plunged in and swam straight out to sea, looking back now and then and seeming to be in a terrible fright He held to his course nntil he could no longer be seen, and thero was no doubt he went to his death, as he did not return. In a dense thicket the captain found s rude shelter which the man had used, and among the dried grass forming his bed were a few fragments of cloth which had once been a pea jacket. There were also a sail or's pipe and an empty tobacco box. Living there alone for years and years, with neither the note of a bird or the chirp of a cricket to cheer him, the man had lost his mind and, looking upon Captain Graham as an intruder, had meant to take his life. When the castaway had been a month on the island without sighting a sail, he made up his mind that the fate of the poor fellow who had dashed into the sea would some day be his. He felt that he would lose his mind unless he made an effort to divert it from the gloomy situation, and he began a closer survey of tho island. The center of it was con siderably higher than elsewhere, and exactly in the middle was a single tree, surrounded by a thicket which he had never yet penetrated. In carrying out his explorations he entered this copse, finding a hard beaten path, evidtntly made by a crazy man. Piled up at the roots of the tree the captain found a great stock of small iron bound boxes, and it needed but one glance to satisfy him that they were treasure boxec There was the cavity where they had once been buried, and the boxes were weather beaten as if long exposed. Two or three large shells lay about, which had doubtless been used to dig cut the dirt, and one cf the boxes had been opened. The captain shouldered this box and carried it down to the spot he called "home," and there inspected its con tents. It contained about 6.000 in gold coin of all nations, but principally Eng lish, and not a coin among ihem was of recent date. In fact, there were somo which no longer circulated in England or India. From the material and con struction the captain judged that the boxes had teen made by a ship's carpen ter. In tho pile at the foot cf tho tree were 15 other boxes of tho same size. One was broken open, and its contents found to be the same as the lirtt and the amount very nearly the same. There was a total, as the captain figured, cf $100,000 more or less. This was based on the supposition that all the boxes contained gold, but as he looked into only two he could not be sure of the contents of the others. How came tba treasure there? Captain Graham believ ed it to be a pirate's cache and that the gold had been there long years before he was thrown on the beach Perhaps the mad sailor had been one of the pi rate crew. It was certain that he had unearthed the treasure at any rate, and it was hardly probable that he stum bled upon it by accident. Well, there was a big fortune there, and it belonged to the finder, but it might have teen so much sand for all the good it could do hini. Days and weeks and months passed away, and one day the castaway counted up the pebbles he had laid in rows along tho beach to mark the time and found that he had been 11 months on the island. On that day there came a furious gale from the east, with a very high tide, and from some wreck at sea the waves broughtin a vast quantity of stuff. There was nothing to eat or tx, wear aa:ong the wreckage, hut thero were planks aud spars and a carpenter's tool chest, and as soon as the storm had abated the castaway went to work to build him a raft. He had determined to leave tho island at any hazard, and after four or five days' work he had his raft completed. It was a rude but stout affair. Wild fruits were taken for pro visions, aud fresh water was carried in a wine keg which had come ashcre with the wreckage. From one of tho boxes the captain took 500 in goldpieces, and one morning when the wind was from the west he launched his raft and drift ed off before it. By his reckoning, which was probably correct, it was seven days before he was picked up by the John J. Speed, an American merchant vessel, homeward bound. The raft had made good weather of it, drifting most cf the time to the east, and the captain judged her total drift to have been J GO miles. His loss had been alluded to in the newspapers and talked of amcng ciilors, and he was given a hesity welcome aboard the American. Ho related his adventures in full, except as to the treasure, and in due time was landed at Cape Town. He had figured cut the latitude and longi- tude of his island to his own satisfac tion, but the etart cn board the Speed, failed io skoy? any such island. Captain Graham at cnee set about finding a ship to bring the treasure off, A brig was finally chartered and sailed with him aboard, but after a eruise of months she failed to find the hlaud. Where Captain Graham said the island ought to be lead found bottom at"Q feet, and in the im-r mediate neighborhood a mass of trees and bushes was fcuud floating about. Village Overran "With. Skunks.

Though Ireland today holds the first place, eo far as America is concerned, in regard to linens, Holland occupied that position everywhere in the past and holds it today in many parts of Europe. The very word Holland is employed to designate a fine linen cloth or a linen and cotton cloth and Iilh been used for this purpose from time immemorial. It is hoth glazed and unglazed and used for wearing and household decoration. Flax grows well in that part of Europe, and the sunlight is said to be brighter and to have more power in bleaching in the Low Countries than elsewhere. The linen industry is carried on in Holland more by women than by men. In the fields there are almost as many female as male cultivators. In the harvesting there is an excess of women. In the many processes, such as liming, hackling and spinning, the women out numbered the men three to one. In the mills the women are" in the majority. The men preponderate when it comes to the making of darrmsks and fancy de signs. For at least four centuries it has been an honored custom in the Nether lands for young women to begin making their marriage portion in linen when mere girls. Some go so far as to start with the sowing of the seed ; others be gin with the spinning, while those bet ter off buy the finished cloth. All do the cutting and sewing. A wedding outfit consists of petticoats, nightgowns and other underwear, several suits for sum mer wear, sheets, pillow cases, bolster cases, pillow shams, shirts for the hus band to bo and a number of rolls of the uncut material for future emergency or use. Nearly every girl of marriage able age has a stock cf these goods rang ing from a iruukful to three or four times that amount. Philadelphia Press. MATTER OF PRONUNCIATION A Father Who Seeks to Enlighten Hi Son on a Small Point. There is a certain man who by the sweat of his brow in summer time earns his bread as a government official, with an office in the big state, war and navy building. He also earns bread for a wife and three likely children and a servant, who manages to carry a slice of pie along home with her bread about three evenings in the week. But that is the cook's privilege always. This official has a son aged 13, who is very nearly as sharp as the father thinks himself to be, especially in those things that everybody ought to know and not one person in a dozen does know. About three times a week the father comes to the office loaded with some new information which he seeks to im part to his fellow clerks by the induct ive method that is, he induces them to show how little they know; then he springs it on them. His strong point is words and their pronunciation, and he thinks he is an authority. The other evening while he was en tertaining three or four of his office friends at a small supper the eldest boy spoke up from the far end of the table. "Say, pop," he inquired, "how do you pronounce N-e-w-o-n-e?" spelling it out slowly. MI presume," replied the father, with the courage of his convictions, "that it is .an Indian name, and by the rule I would pronounce it Ne-wo-ny. " "But that isn't the way, " dissented tho boy. Tho father was never more surprised in his life. "I dou't quite see how it would be euphonious any other way, "he said, with a mild air of offended intelligence. "What's the matter with pronouncing it new one?" inquired the boy, with a loud, irreverent ha ha. And the blow almost killed father. Washington Star. A Collector of Hook Plates. An interesting collection of book plates is owned by Mr. Howard Sill, head draftsman at the ofSce of a firm of architects in this city The collection consists of some 2,300 specimens American, English, French and Span ish, modern and antiqus? belonging to the various periods known as Jacobean, Chippendale, Wreath and Ribbon, etc. Mr. Sill has collected many examples of the work of Dorkins, Johnson, the Mav ericks, father and son, famous colonial book plate engravers; also some speci mens pf the rare and valuable work of Nathaniel Hurd, a New England en graver, bom in 1720, a duplicate of one of whose book plates owned by Mr. Sill brought $G0 in New York a short time ago. Mr. Sill has also one of the six book plates engraved by Paul Revere, which is of great value and inter est. Among the colonial plates are those jf William Byrd of Westover, Bushrod Washington, John Randolph, William Smith, president of William and Mary college; Charles Cam U, Thomas Hey ward and Samuel Chare, signers of the Declaration cf Independence. There are also many examples of modern book plate making, the work cf French, Hop sou, Spenceley and orhtr well known modern engravers. Baltimore Ameri- Ked Men So Love to Drink. "I was down in the Indian Territory a few weeks ago," said a St. Louis man the other day, "and business took me to ; the capital of the Chirokee Nation. There is no country in the world where prohibitory laws are as strictly enforced as in the five civilized tribes.

Referring to the agitation started in France by a society which acts on the principle that "tobacco is always use less, often harmful and sometimes homi cidal, " The Lancet says: "Wo agree in so far that we allow tobacco to be some times very harmful. It is, of course, a poison, but so is tea, as also coffee two vegetable products which are con sumed by nearly every inhabitant of either England or France. All three can be aud very often are abused, but this does not do away with their reasonable use. In these days of rush and hurry to bacco has often a most soothing and restful effect The tobacco sold in France is, to put it mildly, not good, and although in England it is possible to buy fairly good tobacco it is next door to impossible to get impure. "That is to say, it is nearly always scented or treated in some way so as to give it an artificial flavor. Cigars are beyond the purse of any but a rich man, and as for cigarettes the filth sold as such is beyond description. A pure to bacco society would be an admirable in stitution, and, as for the traders saying 'customers like scented tobacco,' the customer seldom gets the chance of smoking anything else. The truth is that, as in the case of highly scented tea or soap, it is cheaper to 'fake' infe rior qualities of stuff than to supply the real thing. To be unsophisticated an article must be of good quality, but the craze for cheapness is ruining every thing, and when people buy cigarettes at 36 cents a hundred it is not to bo wondered at that they get well, an in ferior article. " In view of these dicta it is interesting to note that cigarettes are turned out in large quantities by firms of repute at a retail price nearly a third less than the price mentioned by The Lancet. Lon don Times. Melting Iron. The working and works of the great furnaces in this country are interesting in the extreme to those who are fond of knowing the processes byjvyhich famil iar articles are made. At one of these establishments 2,000 tons of iron ore, coke and limestone are consumed each day. Long trains bring this mixture, which is known to the workmen as "burden," into the works. The cars are brought up cn trestles and emptied into long bins. The furnace is kept full and burns continuously. The gases rise and are carried off, and the eolid mat ter, gradually dissolving taud softening, steadily descends, when the space thus left vacant is immediately filled by the "burden." An examination of the inte rior of the furnace would show a top layer of crnde material with a tempera ture of about 500 degrees F. A few feec below this the temperature of 1,000 de grees F. has decomposed the limestcne and formed carbonic acid and lime. Be neath this there is a stratum with a tem perature of 1,500 to 1,700 degrees. In this the iron is rednced from the ore aud is taking up carbon. Below this the iron is melted and fills the receptacles. Above the iron is the slag, which es capes through a hole at the top of the hearth. At thevbottom of the hearth is a narrow opening1 from which the cast iron is taken. A furnace is tapped six times a day and furnishes about TOO tons of iron -daily. Wheiiihe. furnace is empty, the tap hole is closed with clay. When it is again filled, this clay is broken out, and the melted metal at a white heat flows down through the channels, spreading to the right and left into the smaller depressions pre pared for itsTeception. These are so ar ranged that the molds at the extreme edges fill first, and those near the fur naces are the last ones to be completed. New York Ledger. The Dread of Death. To look upon the face of a friend a3 he goes away; to be one of a group whose tears will not cease, while the one who is dying is calm, confident and triumphant; to listen to lasting good bys spoken as if only a short and beau tiful journey were ahead; to see pain soften itself into peace and a tired and worn body go to sleep like a weary childrr-that takes away the dread of death as nothing else can. When a strong man or frail woman looks upon such a sight, he feels, "Well, I, too, dare go along the pathway that has been so light before the feet of the one I love." It may seem as if meditation on death were not wise, but that is a mistake. Brooding over it no doubts leads to fear; but, on the other hand, more fear and suffering result from the surprises of those who have been too carefully guarded from the face cf the guest who "knocks at the palace and the cottage gate." We should not stay long in the char nel house, but it is good now and then to look in, at least often enough to seo that it is not always a place of chills and glooms, but for many a mansion of peace and rest. Look upon the face of a good man who is waving his farewell to the earth, and you will understand that he is embarking on no wild sea. Listen to the goodbys of those who have loved you, and it will not be so hard to speak your own when the moment to speak them comes. Rev. Amory H. Braddon. Fireproof Sheet Iron Curtains. One of the regulations in certain European theaters was that every thea ter be supplied with a sheet iron cur tain, by which, in case of necessity, the auditorium could be completely isolated from the stage. This curtain, which was enormously heavy, had to be coun terbalanced by massive iron weights, but so evenly was the weight distributed that the screen could be raised or low ered instantly by the pressuro of a but ton controlling an electro magnetic ad justment. The first theater in Europe to use the electric iron curtain was the, Comedie Francaise, in Paris, and the installation was made by an American electric company. This curtain is worked by a twq horsepower motor aud can be powered, at a maximum rate of four and pne-balf feet in a second. In many the aters the iron curtain is now superseded by one of asbestus, which is infinitely less cumbrous and equally serviceable. -Chautauquau.

One evening, the evening after Christ mas, we were seated at the whist table in our room. Henry and I had had our Christmas dinner with his people, and Mr. Gately had had his at the rector's house. Mr. Gately was assistant at the parish church. The major, poor man, had had no other resource than to sit at Mrs. Buckingham's table. "What kind of dinner did the duchess give you on ChristmasS" asked Henry of tho major, who was dealing with quiet precision. "Colossal," replied the major 'colos sal, sir, and familiar." "Do you mean," said. I, "she gave you the samo old things, onlv more of them?" "Precisely, madam. It is your lead and hearts are trumps." The major had turned the queen. " We had five kinds of pie," he added. I led some small card of a plain suit. Mr. Gately took tho trick, playing a king second hand, and led the king of hearts. I saw the major looked puzzled and frowned. "Five kinds of pie!" Mr. Gately ex claimed mildly as the hand went round. "Dear me! What ill judged benevo lence!" Then, his king having taken, he led the ace and smiled. "What infernal carelessness!" burst from the major. His queen had fallen upon his partner's ace. "Oh, hardly that! Surely the intent was manifest not that I defend tho practice, but one could hardly or" Mr Gately leaned forward as ho spoke, still smiling, his cards clasped against his breast and his head slightly to one side. "Confound it, man, I turned the queen when I dealt!" said the major. "The queen? Oh, yes, to be sure! I fear I am very stupid." Mr. Gately was the acme of devout contrition.

A bright answer is put down to the credit of Dr. Fitchett, brother of the ed itor of the Australian Review of Re views. He was ?. member of a colonial parliament, wherein one day a certain eccentrio and elderly member named Taylor insisted on making a speech on education. The oration consisted of a hyperbolical eulogy of the board of schools in Mr. Taylor's constituency. Dr. Fitchett interjected some jocose ex pression of doubt. "Why, sir, " said the irate Taylor, turning upon him, "at i this very moment I have a school in my eye" "No, unlj-jmo pupil.
